Well

- Midnight Commander

- Total Commander

And

Are still employing those hotkeys.

Total commander does not work in console, that immediately rules it out.

Mc is okay-ish, but it lacks the excellent plugins Far had, and a multitude of small life improvements, like directory hotkeys, file selection options, great built-in text/hex file viewer (and previewer!). Mc is what I use all these years after leaving windows, and it's not even close to Far in user experience, unfortunately.

Most of the so-called OFMs (orthodox file managers) do:

DN (Dos Navigator) is not at all bad on Windows, cannot say on Linux, but it is worth a try.

Sure, I agree that FAR is on another planet, but I was referring to possible use under Linux, as said DN has a Linux version (which I never tested):
